What worked?

This Would Solve the Problem with Nord
#1651

What did not work?

I would like to advice People to use blockedif: as zeroip for the Dot/doh DNS for the reason that after restart I found myself having problem with other like refuse or empty so if you want to avoid offline portmaster when starting the computer you should set DNS to zeroip
Example:
dot://9.9.9.9:853?verify=dns.quad9.net&name=Quad9&blockedif=zeroip
dot://149.112.112.112:853?verify=dns.quad9.net&name=Quad9&blockedif=zeroip

or dot://1.0.0.2:853?verify=cloudflare-dns.com&name=Cloudflare&blockedif=zeroip and
dot://1.1.1.2:853?verify=cloudflare-dns.com&name=Cloudflare&blockedif=zeroip
or change the end of the DNS to zeroip
if you have "dot://9.9.9.9:853?verify=dns.quad9.net&name=Quad9&blockedif=empty" as DNS you should change it to "dot://9.9.9.9:853?verify=dns.quad9.net&name=Quad9&blockedif=zeroip"
Also You may be better Using the Older Version of NordVPN Like the Version for Windows 7 or 8.1 this version of NordVPN is 6.45 which have the old Config
This Would let you edit C:\Program Files\NordVPN\6.45.X.X\Resources > "Cybersec.json" and %LocalAppData%\NordVPN > "user.config" but at the older version of 6.45 you don't need to save the file as "Read-only" and you better not because the old version of NordVPN don't undo the changes you make in the "user.config" and "user.config.backup" in the section of Cybersec and force user.config in older version of NordVPN to be "Read-only" may stop NordVPN

Additional information

For Me it work Very well and I don't see problem with Using NordVPN with Portmaster (with WireGurad which is NordLynx Protocol I didn't test OpenVPN Protocol)
It work NordVPN automataclly use DNS "127.0.0.1" which solve the probelm of reconnecting to the VPN which by default change the DNS to NordVPN dns
I have full control and View of all domains and noting Leak
I know most People wouldn't do any of this but maybe the Dev of Portmaster could see how it can be solved and find a way to create a button that would do all it automatically maybe by using command like "netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers "NordLynx" static 127.0.0.1 primary" this command would have to run after NordLynx was enabled or started you could ask the user once if they want to run This command of the specific adapter everytime automatcally when ever portmaster detected NordLynx adapter was enabled
so you could create Task Scheduler that wait for event of NordLynx to be created or you could just create small button that the user will be able to click when ever They change server
You would also need to use same commandment for the Wi-FI and Ethernet "netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers "Wi-Fi" static 127.0.0.1 primary" or "netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers "Ethernet " static 127.0.0.1 primary"
Good Luck Portmaster
